The developmental group at Durham University work with parents and children to help understand key questions in children’s cognitive development. As a thriving research group we investigate a variety of exciting areas, such as how children develop sensorimotor skills, their ability to navigate space and avoid obstacles, as well as how they develop social and emotional skills. We work with children
from infancy all the way through to adulthood. When children take part in any of the projects they are always fun and in the form of a game. It is also a great way for children to learn about science. Alongside this, it provides valuable results in research devoted to understanding children’s cognitive development. If you would like more information about how you and your family can get involved, please do not hesitate to contact us.
